do i need to pull the entire braking assembly from my current spool to put on this? Is it difficult?

It says so directly in the description if you read it.
Please kindly notice that it needs to use the original brakes, thanks

i saw that. i had one for my 50e, and i just has to but the actual weights on the pins. the 70 is different so i did not know if it meant i had to pull the entire assembly off the shaft. how does one do that?

I did the brake show swap, but photobucket removed the pics. It's really easy, just use needle nose tweezers to push out the metal pin that the brake shoe is pivoting on and put them on the new spool.

I only fished it once with a 4 gram lure. I wasn't overly impressed from that one experience. It could be a great spool But I haven't had enough time on it to make a real statement on its performance.

You can buy it on aliexpress with freeshipping: http://ali.pub/1pf61n
Brake block is on it, BUT, you can get 2 brakes from stock spool and put it on this.
It looks like that (this is Casitas spool, for example):
